What was Michael Phelps doing before he was arrested on DUI charges early yesterday? According to TMZ and its "casino sources," he was on an eight-hour "gambling binge." The sources say Phelps was playing blackjack and drinking beer in a private VIP room at Baltimore's Horseshoe Casino starting around 5pm Monday; he left around 1am was pulled over around 1:40am a few miles from the casino. He's said to be a regular there, usually playing poker; it's not clear whether he played other card games Monday. Phelps apologized on Twitter yesterday: "I understand the severity of my actions and take full responsibility," he wrote. "I know these words may not mean much right now but I am deeply sorry to everyone I have let down."

WOAH. stop the presses!!! A verified " gambling binge"? The horror. Stupid twat reporter. If he was caught driving the presidential limo 120 mph through DC, pile - of - coke on the front seat, with naked crack-addled whores shooting automatic weapons out the sunroof, while listening to Rick James & chugging Royal Crown, and a big-titted nun sucking his co*k THEN....... You have a story. Otherwise, shut up already
